Adsense Earnings Stagnates

My adsense earnings have been stagnating for the longest time. For the past half a year or so, there has neither been a decrease or increase in my earnings.

Interestingly, some sites which I have not bothered updating are actually the ones that are giving me the regular stream of income. While others which I have been updating frequently are not as "productive". Perhaps the strategy I am using is wrong.

There is one particular site that I own which apparently gets the same number of visitors for the past 3 months even though I have not updated it at all!

After all, I have heard people talk about being passionate in what you do. And I guess that motivated me to throw away all the keyword research and SEO that I have been doing in the past. All the keyword research and SEO that I did in the past are probably what got me to where I am today.

I think I need to work smarter to make my adsense earnings go up.

How Often Do You Check Your Adsense Earnings?

Are you committing the sin of checking your adsense earnings every now and then hoping that by some miraculous chance, your earnings will go up?

Many people spend way too much time checking on their adsense earnings every now and then. In fact, I am guilty of this bad habit too.

There have been times in my life when I have checked my adsense earnings for literally 5 to 10 times a day. That is almost everytime that I get a chance to use the internet!

Here is one thing that I realised. Checking your adsense earnings can be a total waste of time!

So what if you know how much you have earned today. It will not change anything. You can better use your time to do the following things:

1. Craft more posts.
2. Comment on other people's blog.
3. Do a dead link hunt.
4. Do some search engine optimisation.
5. Do some keyword research.

So there you have it. Some useful things you can do instead of spending time checking on your adsense earnings. I have decided to stop checking my adsense earnings for the rest of this month. I hope I succeed.
